Why Visit Tokyo in August? Festivals, Food & a Place to Stay

Thinking about Tokyo this summer?

August is one of the most exciting times to visit.

Yes, it’s warm—but it’s also packed with culture, color, and energy that you won’t find any other time of year.

Summer Festivals Everywhere

From the Koenji Awa Odori dance festival to the epic Sumida River Fireworks, Tokyo’s August festivals are unforgettable. Streets come alive with parades, yukata-clad dancers, and street food that’s worth the trip alone.

Seasonal Food You’ll Crave

Cool off with kakigōri (shaved ice), cold soba, or grilled eel—a summer favorite in Japan. Even convenience stores offer fun, limited-edition treats.

City Buzz + Quiet Escapes

Explore Tokyo’s nightlife after the sun sets or unwind in shaded parks like Shinjuku Gyoen. It’s the best of both worlds.
